The Sutra of the Auspicious King: The Ritual Manual for Making Offerings to the Seven Medicine Buddhas is an important Buddhist scripture translated by the Mongolian Buddhist scholar Gonpo Chakyab during the Qing Dynasty. It belongs to the essential ritual literature of the Medicine Buddha practice within Tibetan Buddhism. This sutra records the ritual procedures for making offerings to the Seven Medicine Buddhas, elaborating in detail on such cultivation methods as prostrations, mantra recitation, and visualization. It emphasizes that through devout offerings to the Seven Medicine Buddhas, one may attain the merit of dispelling calamities, prolonging life, and purifying karmic obstacles. As a renowned translator of the Qing Dynasty, Gonpo Chakyab's translations hold significant meaning for the cultural exchange between Tibetan and Chinese Buddhism. Widely circulated within Tibetan Buddhism, this sutra is one of the core texts for the practice of the Medicine Buddha method. It embodies the spirit of compassion and saving sentient beings found in Mahayana Buddhism and continues to be extensively used in Dharma ceremonies for seeking blessings and averting disasters to this day.

稽首離垢滿月主! 法雨饒益諸眾生;
修持儀軌行願法, 願滅諸苦獲安寧。

I bow to the Pure, Full-Moon Lord, Whose Dharma rain nourishes all beings. By practicing this ritual and vow, May all suffering cease, and peace arise.

(此約取信行,係願之緣起也)(以上四句偈並分行細字,儀賓工布查布所譯之舊文也)

(This section concerns the fulfillment of faith through practice—it is the origin of vows.)(The four-line verse above, along with the small characters listed separately below, is the earlier translation by the minister Gongbu Chabu.)

(按番本,廣演源流、辯正、布壇、置像、設供等例三十餘篇,文甚繁多皆非諷誦者,無庸全譯,今將供壇城法開列於後)

(According to the original text, there are over thirty sections detailing the origins, principles, altar arrangements, image placements, and offerings. Since these are extensive and not meant for recitation, there is no need to translate them all. Below is the method for setting up the offering altar.)

修建藥師壇法,或有製造壇城;或有繪畫壇城皆可;再或奉安釋迦佛、藥師七如來,及諸大菩薩、護法十二藥叉諸像,各隨其宜,香燈花供如法設之,其供品隨時具辦,務取虔潔。

When constructing a Medicine Buddha Mandala, it is acceptable to either build a three-dimensional mandala, create a painted mandala, or both. When enshrining images of Shakyamuni Buddha, the Seven Medicine Buddhas (Medicine Master and Seven Tathagatas), the great bodhisattvas, and the twelve guardian Yaksha protectors, place them appropriately according to individual circumstances. Arrange incense, lamps, and flower offerings in accordance with proper ritual procedures. Prepare the offerings according to the occasion, ensuring they are sincere and pure.

欲修持者,自身浴淨著新衣,其為外浴;肉、酒、蒜、葱等不淨食斷之,如三白三甜等淨食食之,染污心遠離,其為內浴。以此法門行者,居家者安住齋戒,出家者安大乘齋戒,此最為要故。

For those who wish to practice this, cleansing the body and putting on fresh clothes is the "outer bath." Giving up impure foods such as meat, alcohol, garlic, and onions, while eating pure foods like the three whites and three sweets, and keeping your mind free from defilement—this is the "inner bath." For a practitioner of this Dharma, it is essential for laypeople to uphold the precepts of fasting, and for monastics to uphold the Great Vehicle precepts of fasting. This point is extremely important.

「仰冀三寶諦實,一切諸佛菩薩攝授,二種資糧圓滿最勝力、法界清淨不可思議勝力,上師諸佛並其弟子,在此奉受布薩之處,福田降臨。垂錫。」(此諦實勝力,降臨奉坐,勝解想之)

"Humbly we pray: May the Three Jewels in their truth, all Buddhas and Bodhisattvas with their blessings, the supreme power of our two kinds of accumulated merit, and the inconceivable pure power of the Dharma-realm cause the Gurus, Buddhas, and their disciples to descend here at this place of Uposatha observance, that they may be fields of merit. Please come."

(Think with faith that they, through this power of reality, descend and take their seats for the offering.)

I revere the compassionate teachers Who, with mercy for beings in the impure age of five declines, Hold the heart-essence of the Great Expanded Sutras, And uphold their personal traditions and schools.

I revere the World-Honored One, endowed with great compassion, The all-knowing guide who teaches all paths; Whose ocean of merit and wisdom is deep and vast, I bow to all Tathāgatas.

I revere the pure Dharma, Far from the dust of desire, Which skillfully liberates beings from all evil realms; The supreme, singular, ultimate truth— The peaceful, wondrous Dharma—I honor.

I revere the noble Saṅgha, Who, having understood, teach others to understand, Who dwell well in all trainings, And, as a field of all virtues, are supremely worthy of offerings.

I bow to the most venerable, the Perfectly Enlightened One! I bow to the vast, liberating, wondrous Dharma! I bow to the great community of the Saṅgha! Forever, with sincerity, I take refuge in the Three Jewels.

I revere the Buddhas of the ten directions, Who clearly see all beings and Turn the wheel of the wondrous Dharma throughout the ten directions, Rescuing all sentient beings.

With one mind, they made rare and extraordinary vows, And were companions on the path and at every stage; I revere the thousand Buddhas who accomplished their work Throughout a single virtuous eon.

In countless eons past, To save beings from poverty and suffering, They vowed to make all kinds of extraordinary wishes; I revere the eight Great Sugatas.

Vipaśyin, Śikhin, Viśvabhū, Krakucchanda, Kanakamuni, Kāśyapa, Śākyamuni, the god of gods— I revere the seven courageous Buddhas.

With immaculate moon-like faces and supreme forms, I revere the golden-hued bodies; Far from all defilements, beyond the three realms, I revere the perfectly awakened ones.

The compassionate World-Honored One who includes all equally, Whose name, when heard, ends the suffering of the evil realms; The Medicine Buddha who cures the poison of the three poisons! I revere the Buddha of Lapis Lazuli Light.

Wherever a fully enlightened one was born, Wherever they attained awakening, Wherever they turned the wheel of great peace, And wherever they passed into nirvāṇa—I bow to all such places.

Wherever the Sugatas constantly dwell: The places where they walk, sit, or stand, And where they sleep in the lion’s pose— To all such places, I bow.

Above, below, and in the center, In every direction without exception, Wherever a stūpa—whether containing relics or not—exists, To all those sacred stūpas, I bow.

The perfection of wisdom is beyond words and thought, Unborn, unceasing, like space itself; It is the wisdom that arises according to each being’s nature, The mother of all Buddhas of the three times—I bow to you.

Mañjuśrī, the Saving Protector, Vajrapāṇi, Avalokiteśvara, and those of vast conduct, Who gladly take on the burden of liberating beings, Whether in existence or peace—I bow to the Mahāyāna Saṅgha.

To the radiant, perfect, wondrous mind, Whose body arises from it—I wish to bow; To those who give happiness even to those who harm them, And to all such beings—I go for refuge.

The arhats, with supreme wisdom and controlled faculties, Who dwell in the world alongside the teachings for a long time, Protecting and spreading the Dharma— I bow to the sixteen elders (Arhats).

Those who cultivate insight into the twelve links of dependent origination, Self-realizing sages with partial wisdom and fruit, Who awaken without relying on a teacher— To all noble pratyekabuddhas, I bow.

Those who have attained great miraculous powers and transformations, Who have completed their tasks by the Buddha’s command, Who skillfully guard the precious treasury of the Dharma— I bow to the Vajra protectors of the teachings.

Through vast past accumulations of generosity, They have attained great longevity, wealth, and good fortune; They nurture and shelter those on the path— To those who continue the tradition of giving, I bow in praise.

To all Buddhas and Bodhisattvas pervading space— While we beings remain countless, I manifest bodies as numerous as atoms in all realms, And in every moment, I respectfully bow.

In all the worlds throughout the ten directions, And all the lion-like beings of the three times, With pure body, speech, and mind, I bow to every one of them without exception.

By the power of Samantabhadra’s vow and practice, I appear before all Tathāgatas, And from this one body, I manifest as many bodies as atoms in all realms, Each bowing before as many Buddhas.

Within a single atom are Buddhas as numerous as atoms, Each surrounded by a host of bodhisattvas; The boundless realm of reality is likewise filled with them, And I deeply believe that all are filled with Buddhas.

With a vast ocean of voices, I send forth an endless stream of wondrous words, Throughout all future eons, Praising the profound ocean of the Buddhas’ merits.

(拜畢各歸本位,皷吹諸般樂器,且作且誦云:)

After the bows were completed, everyone returned to their places. The drums and various musical instruments began to play, with both performance and chanting taking place.

「以諸最勝妙花鬘, 伎樂塗香及傘蓋;
如是最勝莊嚴具, 我以供養諸如來!
最勝衣服最勝香, 末香燒香與燈燭;
一一皆如妙高聚, 我悉供養諸如來!
我以廣大勝解心, 深信一切三世佛;
悉以普賢行願力, 普遍供養諸如來!」

With finest garlands of most lovely flowers, With music, fragrant ointments, and canopies— Such supreme adornments of beauty, I offer to all Thus-Come Ones!

Finest garments and most excellent incense, Powdered incense, burning incense, and shining lamps— Each one piled high like majestic Mount Sumeru, I offer all to the Thus-Come Ones!

With a vast and perfectly understanding mind, I deeply believe in all Buddhas of the three times; Relying fully on the power of Samantabhadra's vows, I make universal offerings to all Thus-Come Ones!

(止樂,復誦云:)

(Stopping the music, he recited again:)

「我昔所造諸惡業, 皆由無始貪嗔癡;
從身語意之所生, 一切我今皆懺悔。
十方一切諸眾生, 二乘有學及無學;
一切如來與菩薩! 所有功德皆隨喜。
十方所有世間燈, 最初成就菩提者;
我今一切皆勸請, 轉於無上妙法輪。
諸佛若有示涅槃, 我悉至誠而勸請;
唯願久住剎塵劫, 利樂一切諸眾生。
所有禮讚供養佛, 請佛住世轉法輪;
隨喜懺悔諸善根, 迴向眾生及佛道。」
(如是作七支畢,右膝著地合掌誠念受布薩義云)

(After having performed the seven branches in this way, kneeling on the right knee with palms joined, sincerely recite the meaning of receiving the Uposatha as follows:)

「云何憶昔如來、應供、正等正覺?如調順馬王及大象王,應作者作所作已辦,捨諸重擔逮得己利,盡諸有結具真實語,心善解脫正智解脫者,彼等或以為便於眾生故;為令利益故;為令解脫故;為令無疾病故;為令無饑饉故;為令圓滿菩提方法故;為令增上圓滿無上菩提正覺故,實受布薩禁戒。如是我(某人)亦起於此時至於明旦日出時間實受布薩也。」(如是誦三遍,已得戒想,更宜記其所戒條目。誦云:)

How do I recall the Tathagata, the Worthy One, the Perfectly Enlightened One? Just as a well-trained royal horse or a great elephant king does what needs to be done, has completed what was to be done, has laid down the burden, attained its own benefit, exhausted all ties to existence, possesses true speech, and has a mind rightly liberated and wisdom rightly liberated—for the sake of benefiting beings, for their welfare, for their liberation, from illness, from famine, for the fulfillment of the methods of enlightenment, and for the supreme attainment of perfect unsurpassed enlightenment—they truly uphold the precepts of the Posadha. In the same way, I (this person) also, from this moment until sunrise tomorrow, will truly uphold the Posadha precepts.

(Recite this three times. Once the intention to receive the precepts is established, it is appropriate to record the specific precepts. Recite as follows:)

「從今不殺生, 亦不取他財;
不行淫慾事, 不說虛妄語。
因生多過失, 諸酒斷不飲;
不坐高廣床, 復捨非時食。
不著香鬘飾, 不作歌舞樂;
如昔應供尊! 永斷殺生等。
我以如是戒, 願得無上果;
被苦擾眾生, 願拔出苦海。」

"I vow from now to cease from taking life, And also not to take what is not given; I will not engage in sexual misconduct, Nor will I speak false or hurtful words.

Because intoxicants give rise to many faults, I vow to renounce all alcoholic drinks; I will not sit on high or broad beds, And will avoid eating at improper times.

I will not wear garlands or perfumed adornments, Nor will I partake in dancing, music, or shows; Just like the venerable Arhats of old, Who forever ended killing and such actions.

With this moral discipline I now uphold, May I attain the supreme fruit of liberation; For all beings afflicted by suffering, May I guide them out of the ocean of pain."

「鄂嘛阿摩噶哈施伊拉 薩嘛拔哈喇薩嘛拔哈喇 拔哈喇拔哈喇 嘛哈阿舒拔達哈薩鵽巴達嘛 畢不溪伊荅 不雜達哈喇達哈喇 薩曼荅 阿斡羅基得 吽葩查娑阿哈阿」(是謂淨戒總持,誦七遍或二十一遍)

OM, Amogha Hasti-Ira, Sama-bhara, Sama-bhara, Bhara Bhara, Maha Ashu-buddha-sa, Padma, Bhibhushi Ita, Puza-dhara Dhara, Samanta, Avalokite, Hum Phat Svaha.

(This is the complete Pure Precepts Dharani. Recite it seven times or twenty-one times.)

「堅持禁戒離垢染, 具足清淨無所犯;
離於禁戒取著等, 願戒波羅密圓滿。」

"Holding firmly to precepts, free from defilement, Complete in purity, never transgressing. Free from attachment even to the precepts themselves, May the perfection of moral discipline be fulfilled."

(如是發願)

As I make this vow with steadfast resolve.

(以上乃受大乘布薩法也。受戒畢而觀,作恭敬歡喜之想)

(The above is the method for receiving the Mahayana Uposatha precepts. After receiving the precepts, reflect with respectful and joyful thoughts.)

歸依者
「歸依十方三世一切如來;身語意德業元統自性,出生八萬四千法蘊;主宰一切聖僧;具恩親教師與宗派威德諸上師!」

歸依佛歸依法歸依僧
